A perfectly sane and lovely sentiment there. Thank you!
And at least they've got a well designed seating area for it. The problems with the infamous Light Magic in '97 weren't just technical or artistic, the logistical problems were even worse for that show. There just wasn't enough audience space for a parade that didn't actually move. They've got a big stadium for KiteTails and the most viewing space of any Disney theme park for Harmonious.
The jetski skills and the pacing and the balloons can all be fiddled with.
That said, after I was trying to follow your cue to be polite and gracious, the videos of Baloo stuck in a tree today still makes me giggle!

I think it's to do with the body of water. As it's not a treated/concrete bottom like

They operate a balloon attraction at DS. I think crashing is out of the question

Isn't a big part of that explained by Animal Kingdom's need to be quieter than the average theme park for the animal's sanity, especially after sunset?
World of Color is LOUD. Just the sound of the water exploding and firing 150 feet in the air is loud, so they have to turn up the audio even louder to layer over the very loud crashing/exploding water noise and the roaring jets of fire, etc.
I'm thinking the restrictions placed on them artistically in DAK will prevent a World of Color type show there. Or am I over-thinking it?

This kite show is probably cursed because King Louie is in it. Why would they point him out as a mistake in caricature then make a big kite monster of him...?
I know when Zach Ridly posts verbatim the crap that Disney PR writes out for him that it is from the heart.

There are a lot of hilarious stories from this show that haven't even happened in view of the public. This show was, at least as of two weeks ago, known to be pretty rough.

I never walk out of a Broadway show. Not my style.
We walked out of Turn off the Dark at intermission. It was that bad. Not Julie Taymor’s best work…

I was more referring to the shows' accidents. But your take fits, too!

Wait.....
So did I read here right, the Shows have been pulled and are no longer performing?
What?
Need some real confirmation.
I'm at WDW now....and was going over to see this within the next day or two.
Did I miss my chance?
Was actually interested in seeing this in person.

This was pretty much foreseen if you ask me. As for the circumstances, they'll just blame the wind. Who knew?!
I look at those huge kites and the beating they are already taking and wonder… how long did they expect to get out of a set of them? Did they have backups or are they unique?
Just dumping them on the bleachers or in the water half a dozen times a day like that can’t be good for keeping those things flight-worthy day in and day out.

You know some very talented people were given a shoestring budget and told to make a show for animal Kingdom.
I won't sit here and mock what they did, make fun of it, or even really criticize it. I applaud KiteTails and all those who worked on it. I think what they put together is cute, fun, imaginative, and something that I can see my younger kids along with many other people really enjoying.
It honestly makes me a bit sad to read some of the comments both here and on social media.

Today’s last few shows were pulled.
Expect a show with some missing elements starting again tomorrow.

It'd be really nice to see some entertainment work out smoothly at Animal Kingdom.
